24 hour tap is 7.6 ph. What else could have caused my ph to drop to 6?

todays update
Yesterday I did a 50% wc and super gravel vac. Water tested all 0 last night after that. Today my ammonia is back at .5 ppm and nitrates are 5 ppm. no nitrites. Ph is 7.4. since the ph is holding right now (at least for the few days) should i worry about adding anything?
Those numbers sound strange to me. You have nitrates building, but no reading for nitrites, yet you are still picking up unprocessed ammonia. Can you give me a reading before you do another water change?
How old is your test kit?
